DENIAL:

Denial is fertile breeding ground for the behaviors we
call codependent: controlling, focusing on others and
neglecting ourselves. Illness and compulsive addictive
behaviors can also emerge during denial.

Denial can be confusing because it resembles sleeping.
We're not really aware we're doing it until we're done doing
it. Forcing ourselves – or anyone else – to face the truth
usually doesn't help. We may admit to the truth for a

moment, but we won't let ourselves know what we know
until we feel safe, secure, and prepared enough to deal and
cope with it.

Talking to friends who know, love, support, encourage, and
affirm us helps.

The first step toward acceptance is denial. The first step
toward moving through denial is accepting that we may be in
denial, and then gently allowing ourselves to move through.
